1) While not all food poisoning comes from meat and dairy, Pandemic Survival Review these kinds of foods are more likely to grow the bad bugs that make us sick. To keep food cool just after you've bought it and on the way home, bring a cooler and a few frozen cold packs. Putting at least the meat and dairy in the dark, cold cooler cuts your risk by a lot.
2) Another thing to be aware of when you are buying food is the expiration date. Just because something is on the grocery store's shelves does not mean it is before its expiration date. Many items are just at their expiration dates. Be like your Mom and dig in to the farthest back items to get the piece of food that has the expiration date that's furthest out.
3) Cook your food at the temperatures recommended, and within two days of buying it. Eat it promptly, or store it safely. If you have even a whisp of a doubt about whether a food is okay to eat, toss it. This is especially important if you are feeding it to young children or elderly people, as these two groups are particularly vulnerable to food poisoning.
